And we managed to strengthen bonds with
Picarto.TV and even go on a convention together with them in december
in germany.

They are really cool and nice guys, so
I'd like to use this opportunity to say:

"Thank you very much Picarto.TV!
We hope you're continuing to become even more awesome in 2017!"

Anyways, lets get back to talking about
what good things happened to us during 2016.

We managed to work on Deathblight RPG
and push out a first release this december.

While the webcomic progressed smoothly
and we didn't missed a single page release.

Our Patreon has grown quite a bit, and
the hard work definitelly pays off.

Also, 2016 had a flood of commissions
and new regular customers (for commissions) coming in, so we've got
waaaay more commission requests than we can possibly handle.

(for every commission done, 2-3 new
commissions roll in)

So we would like to express our
gratitude, while at the same time apologizing that we can't possibly
handle that much, which results in commission requests getting turned
down or delayed by weeks or even months.

(we don't charge money before we start
work, still it feels bad to have people wait too long, sorry about
that!)

At any rate, we would like to use this
opportunity to thank all our patrons, supporters, commissioners and
fans!

Thank you very very much, each and
everyone of you had been a great support and great help to us during
2016 and previous years as well.

We wouldn't be standing here and doing
what we're doing without every single one of you.

So we can't express our gratitude well
enough!

Thank you very much!

As some of you may remember, previous
years (especially 2015) were really hard on us.

But thanks to everyone, we were able to
push through 2015, and had a VERY GREAT year 2016.

So, once again: Thank you everyone!

With that being said, we're wishing
everyone a good and prosperous, happy new year.

Hope you get a good start into 2017,
and we hope that the rest of 2017 stays great for all of you too!

See ya next time, and take care!

P.S:

Ah, so the public release will happen when the next version comes out for Patrons. Gotcha. Was curious about that, since the Patreon page only says ''early access''. Good to know. Hope you guys have a good 2017 as well.

Hard to tell, Projekt Wolfenstahl isn't the most forthcoming dev team, at least in term of their games.

My guess is they knew they have short attention span (consider their previous 3 18+ games, only 1 got completely finished before the team dropped their project) so they don't want to talk too much and end up having backlash if they got bored making this one and drop it too.

Geisterhand is the only game that really got "canceled".LDH got finished and released as we originally intended.(it's just a test game, but it's still a game)And Deathblight Apocalypse is just on hold as we don't have enough funding to afford a pixel artist.

Speaking of funding:Our Patrons can testify that we actually deliver a lot more than other hentai game developers who have much much larger Patreon campaigns running, I mean, look at our Patreon, we pretty much have no funding at all.

Currently we have less than 1500 $ on Patreon.600 $ is for the webcomic.900 $ goes into game development, which obviously isn't enough to pay the monthly bills of 3 people.

If you consider this, it's pretty obvious why we have "slow progress", since we're not able to work full time on our games.But it's not that we're going to drop Deathblight RPG, as we're working on it as much as possible, and posting updates on Patreon regularly.

Reason why we don't post updates over here frequently:2016 we needed to stay low to avoid higher tax payments, so we avoided getting too much attention.And other than that, I don't think it's fair for our supporters on Patreon who pay money, if we go and post all our progress updates over here too.I hope you understand.

We do have good reasons for the decisions we make.(like dropping Geisterhand because not enough people were interested in it, and Patreon didn't exist back then, so there was no funding beside my own money I invested in it)So rather than speculating what might go on, I'd rather appreciate it if you would ask what's going on instead.

There is absolutely no reason for us to not talk about things.So please go on and ask if you have any questions.
